If they're going to decapitate people, why do they hide their faces?

[Deja Q]

Why be so cowardly?

Are they terrorists?

Are they those once innocent but whose lives were destroyed by the US's shameless invasion and occupation? 20/20 and a host of other shows had interviews with Iraqi and Afghani citizens over the years CLEARLY stating their hatred of the United State, some of which - NOT WEARING MASKS - saying openly that they WOULD fight us if they could.

Worst of all: Are they our own in disguise? That wouldn't surprise me. Not anymore. Not after story after story after story leaked over the internet (and indeed, 60 Mins II) about terrible abuses from "the liberators who care to give another country democracy out of pure altruism and benevolance". </sarky> )

Unless we know the background location and the faces of Berg's killers, NO-FUCKING-BODY should be making a conclusion. It could be the enemy, it could be the enemy we created, it could be US.

Let's keep this in perspective...

Regardless of who did it, things will not get better.

Thank you *. x(

1. We will find them.

Hood or no hoods, we will find them.

[Malva Zebrina]

5. and we will kill them for killing one of ours

and then, they will kill one of ours for killing one of theirs, And then we will kill two of them for killing one of ours

and all of it is because of the stupid village idiot that occupies the White HOuse (when he is not on vacation) and his stupid and idiotic foreign policies.

He has made a mess out of this country and wherever we go.

It is because of him that this beheading occured.

10. Sorry, but it's your assumption that we will retaliate with another

killing. We will find them. And if we're smart, we'll hand them over to the U.N. to be tried.

2. Fear of prosecution.

Which is why US troops smiled in the camera, no fear of prosecution.

Are they terrorists? No more or less then US troops.

[Deja Q]

6. A logical possibility

Let's hope it wasn't done by our own countrymen/women, but even then I can't not defend the actions of the terrorists when it turns out our own troops have been just as vulgar, if not moreso.

Violence begats violence.

Someone's got to draw the line.

Nobody is willing to and * even praises Rumsfeld, clearly proving his support for this monstrosity.

3. Black ops.

The timing of this is pretty convenient for bushlerco.

[QC]

4. This is just a wild guess, but

maybe to make it harder to catch them?

[w13rd0]

8. Do they have regular jobs and just meet on Monday nights?

I'm a bit puzzled, since it would seem to me that the being completely shrouded, combined with the audio desynch, being released on RW sites, the shuffling of the same paper over and over, but continuing to speak unbroken...el stinko miyo...

9. lol

You mean the obvious answer, and not the conspiracy theory one? No way, not on DU.

12. There may be something to what your saying.

[Deja Q]

16. A hidden message? Kindly tell me.

I couldn't fathom any from his message, and my own reply (#15) should take care of the insult once and for all.

You're right though, he does have a legitimate point, even if it is a bit pedestrian... But I was hoping he would have seen the deeper meaning.

[Deja Q]

15. That's obvious. Here's something that should be obvious too:

How so many are automatically blaming US soldiers for this heinous act is the true mystery.

We want PROOF. Not HYPERBOLE. Or is that not obvious enough? In other words, we're going to look like 40,000 FOOLS without absolute proof and the freepazoids will take full advantage of this. So will reich-wing media, we're seeding them with a whole garden full of nutters.

We've got only speculation right now. No proof.

Your sarcasm is misplaced, I think.

7. The father of the young man blamed Bush administration. He

said that they had arrested his son and kept him in prison for 13 days. He continued that his son would have been gone from Iraq and still be alive if that had not happened.

[rumguy]

11. because they are cowardly POS

I really hate the fuckers that did this...

[0007]

13. I hate all assassins - anyone in and out of uniform is an assassin

Bring the troops home and stop the blood letting

14. Chalabi's work IMHO n/t
